Abstract
A closed-loop brain computer interface (BCI) system for treating mental or emotional disorders with responsive brain stimulation is disclosed. The system includes an implanted module including a processor configured to process neural data acquired from one or more electrodes in communication with one or more brain regions of a patient. The implanted module is configured to deliver stimulation to electrodes in contact with the brain regions. An interface is in wireless communication with the implanted module and configured to receive the neural data from the implanted module. A controller processes the patient's brain and body signals to provide patient intentional control over the stimulation applied to the one or more electrodes and to control the stimulation.
